Yu Jingchen did not make things difficult for her and also proactively avoided her. Nan Zhiyun was helped up by Qian Xia, and the downward sensation in her abdomen made Nan Zhiyun too painful to straighten her waist.
Some of the things in the room had also been replaced. When Yu Jingchen saw Nan Zhiyun again, she had already changed into a new set of clothes. However, her face was still very pale.
"The imperial physician is here," Xing said.
"Go and examine her. She's in so much pain, is her condition very serious? See if you can prescribe some painkillers for her," Yu Jingchen said to the imperial physician, who was now very experienced.
Nan Zhiyun was still lying on the bed, curled up into a ball, looking extremely uncomfortable, unwilling to even open her eyes. She had also experienced pain before, but never as severe as this.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, the Consort seems to have caught a chill recently, coupled with emotional fluctuations, a poor constitution, and a lack of rest and adjustment, which is why the abdominal pain has become so severe," the imperial physician replied with a cupped fist.
"How can it be relieved?" Yu Jingchen asked.
"I will prescribe some more medicine for the Consort to try later. And I also ask the Consort to maintain emotional well-being, get plenty of rest, avoid the cold, keep her abdomen warm, and eat less raw and cold food," the imperial physician answered meticulously.
After the imperial physician had finished his duties and given his advice, Yu Jingchen had everyone withdraw. Qian Xia also poured some warm water for Nan Zhiyun, but the effect was minimal.
"Has she experienced this before? Does it happen every month?" Yu Jingchen asked, but Nan Zhiyun was in too much pain to speak, so Qian Xia answered.
"The Consort always experiences pain, and it lasts for several days, but never as severe as this time," Qian Xia said.
"Did she eat anything she shouldn't have in the past few days?" Yu Jingchen asked again.
"The Consort has a sensitive stomach and a small appetite. She doesn't eat much and hasn't eaten anything raw or cold recently," Qian Xia said after thinking carefully.
Yu Jingchen frowned, seemingly lost in thought. Finally, he said, "You may withdraw."
Qian Xia hesitated but had no reason to stay, so she bowed and withdrew. After Qian Xia left, Yu Jingchen looked at Nan Zhiyun, who was writhing in pain on the bed, lost in thought. Finally, he instructed Xing, "Go and investigate the things she has been eating and using recently. Do not alert anyone. Investigate it secretly."
Xing was somewhat surprised. Was His Majesty suspecting that someone had tampered with Consort Nan's food or belongings? However, despite his surprise, Xing quickly controlled his emotions and said, "Yes," before leaving.
After everyone had left the room, Yu Jingchen slowly walked to Nan Zhiyun's side. She had taken medicine, but now, due to the pain, she seemed barely conscious.
Yu Jingchen sat down beside her and used a handkerchief to wipe the cold sweat from her forehead.
"Your Majesty..." Nan Zhiyun was in a daze but subconsciously called out. She also reached out as if trying to grasp something.
Yu Jingchen took her hand, allowing Nan Zhiyun to lean into his embrace. Perhaps finding something to rely on, Nan Zhiyun held on tightly and did not let go.
Yu Jingchen embraced her and also lay down, placing his hand on Nan Zhiyun's abdomen. He then circulated his inner energy to help her... warm her uterus?
